General Description
Potassium ferrioxalate also known as potassium trisoxalatoferrate(III) is a chemical compound with the formula K3[Fe(C2O4)3] where iron is in the 3 oxidation state. It is an octahedral transition metal complex in which three bidentate oxalate ions are bound to an iron center. Potassium acts as a counterion balancing the 3 charge of the complex. Crystals of the trihydrated form of the complex K3[Fe(C2O4)3]3H2O are emerald green in color. In solution the salt dissociates to give the ferrioxalate anion [Fe(C2O4)3]3 which appears fluorescent green in color. Potassium ferrioxalate is often used in chemical actinometry i.e. the measure of light flux.
